Granted, this listing read, "1916 Sporting News M-101-4" and the ebay auction is titled, "1918 M101-5." That said, something caught your eye and I would like to know what it was.
Please let me know. Thanks, in advance, for your help.
Best Regards,
Eric

Not sure the term for it, but all those lines, the cracking look, I see it all the time on bad reprints. Fake aging. Of course maybe that was due to this card surviving "The Perfect Storm."
